Dental Care of Spokane

Rank two out of nine audited Spokane dentists. That's a strong position. On "dentist near me Spokane," spokanedental.com sits one spot above you. One spot. That gap is real but narrow, and this report shows exactly where it lives. Your Google Business Profile is doing serious work — 4.9 stars across 595 reviews signals trust at scale. Your localization score is 75 out of 100, meaning your title tags, meta descriptions, and contact details all anchor the site to Spokane correctly. The audit score is 81 out of 100. Good. Not finished. The remaining 19 points are the report's job — specific structural gaps between your site and the top position, and the order to address them.

Best Dentists Near Me in Spokane, Washington
A national directory in your top 3 means Google can't find enough strong local sites to fill the SERP. That's an opening — your audit-grade site can outrank it with the right local signals.

Audited values come from our Spokane dataset of > 40 local sites. Where a competitor is a national directory (Yelp, Reddit, etc.) we mark it as such — the signal is that those showed up in your local SERP at all, which is its own diagnosis.
